L.A. County and environmentalists try to halt plans for oil drilling, saying the work violates Prop. A, which provided money to preserve land from development. The city of Whittier and a Santa Barbara oil company prompted outrage Thursday as they began clearing trees and brush from a nature preserve that was bought with Los Angeles County tax dollars to protect it from development.
